Geopotential height refers to the height of a specific pressure level in the atmosphere, such as 500 hPa, and is used to represent the vertical position of a certain pressure surface above sea level. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences, 2003 ...

200 m 16 17 67 and 250 m above sea level. This area lies at the boundary between the Tambopata National 18 19 68 Reserve and its protective Buffer Zone. Together with the Bahuaja Sonene National Park to 20 21 69 the south, these protected areas make up the ca. 1.4 million ha area...
As the satellite passes over the dune field (gray region), the CALIPSO (green line) scan of the atmosphere detects high backscatter β from aerosols in the mixed layer relative to the free atmosphere above (blue map, 5-km horizontal resolution). The mean difference (red line) of the ...
(2011), (henceforth, the Simard-map) as our final global map (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 Simard et al. (2011) map of the study area Full size image Preprocessing of ATL08 products We selected all of the ATL08 data (National Snow and Ice Data Center, USA 2018) that covered our study ...
Therefore, this study intends to estimate and map the height and aboveground biomass (AGB) of the mangrove forests on whole Hainan Island. Since remote sensing techniques can provide large-scale and accurate information on forests, they have been widely used for forest inventory in the past two ...
Figure 1. Topographic map of the experimental site. The straight-line distance between the two sites is approximately 500 m. The portable Doppler wind lidar (FC-II) was deployed at Site A. The ultrasonic anemometer thermometer (UAT-2) was deployed at Site B. The location of the field exper...
and lowest in May after having been depleted by the strong northwesterly winter winds. The summit and upper slopes sit so high in the Earth’s atmosphere that the amount of breathable oxygen there is one-third what it is atsea level. Lack of oxygen, powerful winds, and extremely cold tem...
Mauna Kea, dormant volcano, north-central Hawaii island, Hawaii, U.S. The focus of a state forest preserve, it is the highest point in the state (13,796 feet [4,205 metres] above sea level). Mauna Kea (Hawaiian: “White Mountain”), which last erupted ab
The ordinate is the position above the still water level normalized by incident wave height, ηmax, which is the wave height measured at St.12 without the seawall. The abscissa is the wave pressure normalized also by ηmax. Figure 11a shows the data from the test case with deeper water ...
